Introduction:
http://uspest.org/risk/models "MyPest Page" is a multi-crop, multi-model interface intended to serve users at local, regional, and national scales of pest management. Because of this diversity of users, you may wish to set up your webpages with custom embedded pest model charts and tables for one or more pests and locations. For example you could embed the disease model and temperature charts, and degree-day model tables or charts, into a County Extension webpage. All of these elements ("widgets" is the term used today) are loaded from our server into your pages (as you set them up) at the browser of the end-user in real-time (acting as simple web services for your mashups). The primary HTML tags to do this are <img> <object> (used here) and <iframe> (not used here).

Notes:
1. At this time, weather parameter and disease risk model charts do not include mention of the location. You should add your own location labels above or beside the chart. Tables, however do mention the Weather station code, plus the station name (for degree day tables).
2. No cookies are used by default; therefore all settings must be specified in the tags and params.

Full listing of Mypest Page mashup params and values:

Chart settings - Weather/disease/other hourly driven models - use <img src="...." > tags:
------------
Use the 'img=' parameter to embed a chart of the selected item.
ex:
Embed a temperature chart:
<img src="http://uspest.org/risk/models?img=temp" border="0">
Embed a temperature chart for station CRVO (Corvallis, OR):
<img src="http://uspest.org/risk/models?img=temp&sta=CRVO" border="0">
Embed a temperature chart for a station nearest the specified zipcode (Davis, CA):
<img src="http://uspest.org/risk/models?img=temp&zipcode=95616" border="0">
Options:
img=xxxxx
where xxxxx is the weather parameter or disease ov which you want a chart.
See the 'wp' and 'mdl' parameter descriptions below to get a full list
of avaible values.
Image specific parameters:
img_x=xxx
where xxx is the width in pixels
img_y=yyy
where yyy is the height in pixels
Table settings - Weather/disease/other hourly driven models - use <object data="...." > tags:
------------
Use the 'dtbl' parameter to embed a daily summary table for the selected item.
ex:
Return a summary table of temperature:
<object data="http://uspest.org/risk/models?dtbl=temp" border=0> </object>
Return a summary table of the apple scab model:
<object data="http://uspest.org/risk/models?dtbl=a_scab" border=0> </object>
Use further parameters (described below) to control the table.
Degree-day model chart and table settings - use <object data="...." > tags:
------------
Use the program uspest.org/cgi-bin/ddmodele.pl to embed degree-day (DD) models.
ex:
DD summary table:
<object data="http://uspest.org/cgi-bin/ddmodele.pl?uco=1&spp=swd&enm=10&end=30&wfl=KKLS11.txt
&fcz=98626&hfl=longview_wa.txt&spyr=1&shd=1&mkt=0&mkg=1&just_table=1" width=440 height=420
scrolling="yes" border=0> </object>
DD chart:
<object data="http://uspest.org/cgi-bin/ddmodele.pl?uco=1&spp=swd&enm=10&end=30&wfl=KKLS11.txt
&fcz=98626&hfl=longview_wa.txt&spyr=1&shd=1&mkt=0&mkg=1&mkgp=0" width=520 height=320
border=0> </object>
Where:
uco= stands for "use calc only" when set to "1" which skips the legacy interface to DD models
spp= specifies the species abbreviation to use for the model see this list
to find what models are available in our system. Contact us (scroll to bottom) if you would like a
new model to be added.
stm= std= enm= end= stand for starting month and day and ending month and day for the DD model
cal= stands for degree-day calculation method, where:
T1 is single triangulation DDs (Sevacherian et al. 1977)
T2 is double triangulation DDs (Sevacherian et al. 1977)
S1 is single sine curve DDs (Baskerville & Emin 1969) (this is used by default)
S2 is double sine curve DDs (Baskerville & Emin 1969)
A is simple average/growing DDs (tmax + tmin/2 - tlow)
G is corn growing degree-days (used for sweet corn)
DH is degree-hours (4 day cumulative, used for fire blight)
HD is heating DDs (power industry)
CD is cooling DDs (power industry)
PD is P-days (potato development DDs from Wisdom DSS)
tlo= stands for the lower temperature threshold (needed when not using a model from the database)
thi= stands for the upper temperature threshold (needed when not using a model from the database)
cel= stands for "use celsius" rather than Fahrenheit
wfl= stands for the station code to use for weather data, plus the year and .txt, ex. "11.txt"
fcz= stands for the zipcode to use for a 7-day NWS forecast, or exclude this parameter and the
program will attempt to find a zipcode to use (this is currently a bug)
hfl= stands for the historical 30-year average temperature file to use see this list to find
an appropriate station to use, or exclude this parameter and the program will attempt to find the
nearest location.
spyr= stands for "spanyear" and normally is not needed unless your model begins in the fall and spans
into the winter/spring of the next year.
shd= stands for "show header off" and should always be set to "1" unless you wish to show the legacy header
which includes photos of the pest (if available), and links to documentation.
mkt= stands for "make table" meaning the full daily detailed table output. Normally this should be set to "0"
to not display the full table.
mkg= stands for "make graph" which is the standard chart output. Use "0" for off and "1" for on.
mkgp= stands for "make tables popup from graph" which should be "0" unless you provide sufficient space
on the webpage and in the object tag settings (such as width="800" height="700") to display a
popup table.
just_table= stands for "just table" for when a DD summary table is the primary output. Use "1" for on.
<object> tag parameters of interest:
data= the source URL you are embedding/mashing.
width= the number of pixels to allow for the object to display. Normally ca. 440 is recommended for a
DD summary table, 520 is recommended for a DD chart, and 800 is recommended for a chart with a
popup table (using tag mkgp=1).
height= the number of pixels to allow for height of the object to display. ca. 320, 320, and 700 can be
used with the width recommendations above.
scrolling= Set to "yes" or "1" to provide a scroll bar for the object if larger than the allotted space.
border= Set to "no" or "0" to not include a border around the object.
